Weymouth Bus Drivers Sound Alarm Over $1.5 Million Bid Gap

Middle School Language Cuts Draw Parent Fire

WEYMOUTH - April 30, 2026 - The Weymouth School Committee faced a wave of public concern Thursday night as residents and transportation staff challenged a $1.5 million gap in a pending bus contract bid, while the administration detailed a “stark financial reality” that includes cutting French programs at the middle school level.

The Full Story

The meeting opened with a somber tribute to Ron Gorin, a former district school psychologist and special education administrator who passed away on April 19. Following the moment of silence, the focus shifted rapidly to a “stark financial reality” described by Superintendent Melanie Curtin. While the district is in a better position than the 25-position cut initially projected—now down to between three and five positions—the budget remains tight despite a proposed 3.5% increase and a $500,000 education reserve fund from Mayor Michael Molisse.
